WSOP November Niner player Antoine Saout joins Team Everest Poker

  • 8-10-2009
Online poker site EverestPoker.com has informed that 25 year-old professional poker player and member of the WSOP November nine, Antoine Saout  has signed as part of their exclusive Team Everest.

Antoine, already a millionaire, is another example of a player who has grown through Everest Poker, where he qualified for the WSOP, and is now looking to establish himself as a world-class poker professional. The deal will see him participate in the biggest poker tournaments on the planet and, of course, the WSOP Final Table in November.

Antoine, from Saint Martin des Champs, Brittany, France, dropped out of university after one year to focus on poker. His commitment to the game of poker has been amply rewarded by a final table appearance in his first ever World Series of Poker and a contract with the tournament's official sponsors, EverestPoker.

Everest Poker does not sponsor professional players but instead invests in real players to become professionals and succeed on the world stage in much the same way as many football clubs now look to nurture talent within their own academies. Currently Team Everest has six players, Cristiano Blanco from Italy, Voitto Rintala from Finland, Maria Maceiras from Spain, Steven van Zadelhoff from the Netherlands & Kim Wooka from Japan.

"France is where Everest Poker first launched and to have a French player on the final table who qualified with us is very exciting. He joins an increasingly well respected team of real poker players who all support each other in the biggest tournaments around the world." said Sandrine Mangia-Park, Everest's Poker Director.
